2006 Gibson Les Paul Custom R7 VOS

2006 Gibson 1957 Les Paul VOS Reissue Gold Top

The Goldtop Les Paul 1957 stands as one of the most iconic electric guitars ever produced. Retaining the classic gold finish of previous years, the '57 saw the introduction of the now legendary "Patent Applied For" (PAF) humbuckers to replace the P-90s. The combination of the classic gold top looks with revolutionary electronics has made the '57 Les Paul one of the most sought-after guitars to ever hit an auction block. With the release of the Gibson 1957 Les Paul Gold Top VOS, Gibson has masterfully recreated the stunning instrument as part of the VOS or Vintage Original Spec series. Includes Custom Shop Case and Certificate of Authenticity. The guitar weighs 10 lbs 4 oz. Neck nut width = 0.693. First fret = 0.922. Twelfth fret = 1.05”. It has a standard 50’s C Shape. If you have any questions or would like any other pictures, please send us a message. NO CIGARETTE ODORS on guitar or case.
